Abstract: This technology relates to providing a web-based digital claims platform to provide users with a simple and customized experience when filing insurance claims. The platform is enabled by a plurality of back-end application programming interface (API) resources. These API resources are event-driven (e.g., when an “event” associated with the claim occurs, the status of the claim changes and the API is provided with updated information indicative of the change). The platform includes a customized user interface (UI) that tailors the claim experience to a particular user's needs. The customization can be based off of stated user preferences and/or learned user preferences associated with the user's past behavior. A user can perform/request various services through the customized UI's self-service function (e.g., rent a car, find a hotel room, select a repair shop, etc.). Additionally, the customized UI can enable the user upload documents, track claim status, find relevant help topics, etc.

Abstract: System and methods directed to identifying music theory labels for audio tracks are described. More specifically, a first training set of audio portions may be generated from a plurality of audio tracks, segments within the plurality of audio tracks being labeled according to a plurality of music theory labels. A deep neural network model may then be trained using the first training set as an input, a first loss function for music theory label identifications of audio portions of the first training set, and a second loss function for segment boundary identifications within the audio portions of the first training set. In examples, the music theory label identifications and the segment boundary identifications are generated by the deep neural network model. A first audio track is received and segment boundary identifications and music theory labels for segments within the first audio track are generated using the deep neural network model.

Abstract: A system for data processing, comprising a plurality of data processing systems, each associated with a user and having an anchor certificate, a proxy system operating on a processor and configured to determine whether an expiration associated with the anchor certificate for each data processing system is within a predetermined time of expiration and a certificate expiration monitor operating on the processor and configured to generate a certificate signing request in response to the determination that the expiration associated with the anchor certificate for each data processing system is within the predetermined time of expiration.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods related to implementing supervised metric learning during a training of a deep neural network model are disclosed herein. In examples, audio input may be received, where the audio input includes a plurality of song fragments from a plurality of songs. For each song fragment, an aligning function may be performed to center the song fragment based on determined beat information, thereby creating a plurality of aligned song fragments. For each song fragment of the plurality of song fragments, an embedding vector may be obtained from the deep neural network. Thus, a batch of aligned song fragments from the plurality of aligned song fragments may be selected, such that a training tuple may be selected. A loss metric may be generated based on the selected training tuple and one or more weights of the deep neural network model may be updated based on the loss metric.

Abstract: An assembly comprises an outer subassembly, a toilet tank, and an inner subassembly. The outer subassembly further comprises a handle, a handle stop, a torsion spring disposed between the handle and the handle stop, and a tank hole seal. The inner subassembly further comprises a mounting plate to receive the outer subassembly. A drive pin is coupled to the mounting plate. The inner subassembly further comprises a flush lever and a roller subassembly.

Abstract: A gear driven trip lever for a toilet comprises a handle, a handle stop and a torsion spring disposed outside the tank. Inside the tank is a gear driven trip lever subassembly comprising a home position rack that is secured to a mounting plate and a spring-loaded clutch cam. The end of the flush lever nearest the gear driven trip lever subassembly is configured as a geared structure that meshes with gears disposed on a home position rack. When a user pushes the flush handle, the home position rack lifts the geared flush lever. The clutch cam contacts and slides on the home position rack as it moves downwardly. When the flush handle is fully depressed downwardly, the clutch cam releases the home position rack which returns to its home position via a compression spring and the geared flush lever is returned to its home position.
